  1. What does the acronym 'PPP' stand for in TEFL lesson planning?

    Answer: Presentation, Practice, Production

    PPP stands for Presentation, Practice, Production — a classic three-stage lesson framework used widely in EFL contexts.

  2. Which lesson planning model emphasizes a 'Test-Teach-Test' sequence?

    Answer: TTT

    TTT (Test-Teach-Test) first assesses what students already know, then teaches the gap, and tests again to confirm learning.

  3. In a TEFL lesson plan, what is a 'staging' objective?

    Answer: The sequence of activities broken into logical steps

    Staging refers to breaking a lesson into ordered steps so each activity logically leads to the next.

  4. What is the primary purpose of a 'lead-in' stage in a TEFL lesson?

    Answer: To activate prior knowledge and generate interest in the topic

    A lead-in warms students up to the topic, activates schemata, and creates motivation before new input is introduced.

  5. Which approach designs the syllabus around real-world communicative tasks rather than grammar points?

    Answer: Task-based language teaching

    Task-based language teaching (TBLT) organizes learning around meaningful tasks that mirror real communication.

  6. When writing lesson aims, which phrasing best follows TEFL best practice?

    Answer: Students will be able to use present perfect for life experiences by the end of the lesson

    Effective aims are student-centred, measurable, and specify what learners will be able to do by the end of the lesson.
